Lyn-Lake is a neighborhood just east of the Uptown neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The heart of the neighborhood is the junction of South Lyndale Avenue and West Lake Street.
With ethnic restaurants, gay-friendly hangouts, and quirky businesses like the Bryant-Lake Bowl, Falafel King, the Cockpit, the Smitten Kitten, Vera's, the Herkimer, Fujiya, Galactic Pizza, Intermedia Arts, and Robot Love, Lyn-Lake is thought to be Calhoun Square's edgier cousin.
Other highlights of the area include the Midtown Greenway bike path and access to Lake Calhoun, Lake of the Isles, and Lake Harriet.
The annual Art Car Parade is held every summer in Lyn-Lake. Residents compete for the most creative theme in costuming their car (or other motorized vehicles).
